I have seen this, but I don't recall the circumstances.  It may however
be related to UDS.  If you are using ":0" as your DISPLAY, don't.
UDS doesn't implement partial writes properly and the system can hang
on a large server write.

I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
